“The biological definition of homeostasis is ‘the tendency of an organism or cell to regulate its internal environment and maintain equilibrium, usually by a system of feedback controls, so as to stabilize health and functioning’. Generally, the body is in homeostasis when its needs are met and it’s functioning properly” (Lutz, 2013). All of the systems in the body play a role in maintaining homeostasis. The inability to do this can lead to disease and sometimes death. Our bodies’ temperature is maintained by homeostasis. Although our bodies’ internal conditions are not entirely stable, it can vary within a narrow range. The human body is capable of maintaining a core temperature between 37.2°C to 37.6°C. A person can likely die from hypothermia
